Hey Rightly, great work. Exceptional lyrics - especially the empty cup line. I like the tumbling keys in the background (I guess it is keyboard). Your voice - you seem to ‘emote’ a bit more than usual on this one... more vocal expressions between the words... that works well. It sounds like you were really ‘into it’ when singing this one.
this one, despite its simplicity
is a really strange song for me
it's not unusual for me to contemplate death
there seems to be a lot of it about these days
I've got to learn how to mic up my guitar properly
I think what I did really works here but that was just luck
I need to get a clean sound, at the very least as an option
@PaulyX I'm not sure the falling piano notes are differently eq'ed than the higher piano notes, if I remember correctly
such a fast write
I like the line too but my fave is the line "ornament or use" I vaguely remember older folks saying it in my youth. (not in reference to myself. lol)
I'm working on a life affirming, well two, life affirming songs at the moment. they really work well with this song. Y'know it's all about the contrasts.
thanks for your attention!
